Really happy that my dream Scum droid synergy lists are possible. This list is centered on using 0-0-0 and 4-LOM to push stress, which L3 and IG-88A capitalizes on with L3 abusing the Falcon title + BT-1 and IG-88A locking down ships with the Ion Cannon. The L3-37 build makes getting in Range 1 of her a Morton's Fork. Either they feed Lando a Calculate token for rerolls, or they give L3 an extra Attack Dice with BT-1 hit>crit conversion. I figured Elusive was a good idea on 4-LOM since he'll be looking to get and dump stress, which likely means frequent use of red maneuvers, and then he gets IG-88D for extra Calculates. Wish I had room for Advanced Sensors though, IG-88D calculate into red maneuver for 3 Calculates + stress dump looks fun with Elusive on top of it. IG-88A rounds out the list giving 4-LOM the ability to pass Calculates which can be used to fuel L3-37 when she has a juicy shot, and has the Ion Cannon for control + Crack Shot for a bit of help pushing ion tokens or damage through. Didn't bother with bid since the highest is Initiative 4.

Any thoughts on improving it, or does this look good?

I was considering something like this. Could take off tractor beam for another crew on L3-37. The idea is since IG-88A will shoot first both L3-37 and spice runner push through more damage. Also it helps against aces ??‍♂️ . I hate how expensive the aggressor are. They really took a hit in 2.0

These Droid lists are very cool,will try all sorts in a few weeks.

Love the IG-88D crew card, looks good with 4-LOM!

I tried Guri/IG-88A/L3-37 (with IG-88D crew) yesterday on TTS and I really liked all the token sharing. It felt like the old attani. Sometimes Guri ended up with a focus and 2-3 calculates. I played against fat Dash and an ICT Y-Wing. Killed Dash with Guri the same turn I lost the Aggressor.

really fun list to fly

I'd think that 4-LOM ideally wants to do red maneuvers every single turn, gain his free calculate token, and shed the stress so he can do it again next turn. If he's pulling this off then he's actually not doing too many actual calculate actions. Is the purpose of the IG-88D crew just for the token passing and to make his calculate actions twice as good on those 'off turns' where he failed to shed stress? Or in reality is it more common that 4-LOM will just end up not pulling off red maneuvers so often and so will benefit from IG-88D extra calculate tokens more than I'm thinking?

Just trying to make sure I understand the interaction/benefits since I too am interested in having a Droid Synergy build.

I like the IG-88A + 4-LOM load-out and really like the suggestion of Advanced Sensors on for 3 calculates a turn so here's my crack at a Droid Synergy build:

How about this for 4-LOM? Opens up more of the dial but does lose the IG88 synergy.

4-LOM (49)

Elusive (3)

Advanced Sensors (8)

Seasoned Navigator (5)

Seasoned Navigator allows you to turn all your whites into reds so now your two banks/turns (and 3 straight) can be red moves.

Reveal -> Action -> Change to red -> Stress -> Gain calculate token and Elusive charge. End of turn pass the stress on.

I absolutely love that 4-LOM, now I wish it had an even worse dial somehow.

I like this more than my original list. I had gone with IG-88D to have 4-LOM pass calculates when it didn't couldn't get to range 1, but that 4-LOM gets a lot more red manuevers, has his action available if he can dump stress, and gains the ability to chase low initiative targets. L3 loses a bit of punch without Lando, but now the choice is passing IG-88D a calculate to pass around instead of feeding Lando rerolls, and the original danger of taking stress activating the Falcon title + BT-1. IG-88A ends up pretty naked though, but I think that's fine.

I personally like 4-LOM with L3 Falcon for the synergy, but that Guri list looks fun too. Also wonder about Ion IG-88A+B with Dace Bonearm carrying IG-88D. Leaves you with 6 points for upgrades, Aggressors can double tap Ions on a key target and Dace makes sure even big ships get ionized while helping with pseudo Attani. Only problem is you can't fit Moldy Crow too, which is a bumber. IG-88A+C with Moldy Crow Palob+IG-88D could be really annoying to face too. You can stack Focus tokens on Palob, pass a Calculate each turn to the other IGs while using your own stack of tokens which you can replenish from enemies, use the other Calculate to slow the loss of your own tokens when you only need 1 change, and also benefit from Boost + Evade.
